Almost all Americans are familiar with the fact that we once fought a Civil War, but not all that many of them realize that the War Between The States was not about slavery. Slavery was the buzzword, but the real issue was states’ rights. Did the federal government have the right to determine if a […]

Humorist Will Rogers used to say that he didn’t have to make up his material, because he found plenty to talk about just by reading the newspaper. I agree, because every time I open a newspaper or read the different internet news pages, I find something that makes me ask “What the hell is that […]

Here’s an good idea. Let’s say that a huge company creates a natural disaster on a scope that is hard to imagine, and that will cost billions of dollars to remedy.
